Rosemary Rimkus
Team Nancy, in tribute to Hudson resident Nancy Sullivan, has walked in the Multiple Sclerosis Fund annual walk for the past 27 years.
This year on May 1, family, friends and former classmates walked 3 miles on Hudson streets in tribute to Nancy, and to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Fund. The walk, held annually in Concord, was postponed last year due to Covid.
Nancy is the wife of Hudson native Paul Sullivan, who is captain of Team Nancy.
“We have participated since 1994,” he said, “and have a great team of old friends, relatives and former classmates.”
KEYNOTES: Rotarians adapt to online setting

The confines of COVID-19 have forced the Hudson Rotary Club to adapt its meetings and its aims. Organized in 1923, almost one hundred years later the Hudson service organization has swapped its weekly meetings at the Hudson Portuguese Club for bi-weekly “Zoom” meetings, and in recent years dropped its mandatory weekly attendance rules.
Hudson Town Moderator Richard Harrity, current club president, said when Covid restrictions were announced in March 2020, the club attempted outdoor meetings for a few months, “but in the Fall the weather forced us to make other plans.” At recent “Zoom” meetings, the club has hosted guest speakers Tom Gregory, who will soon succeed Tom Moses as town administrator; Police Chief Rick DiPersio and Mark O’Connell, Avidia bank president.
